Sometimes you have to make do with what you've got...

Well, we've been taking a bit of a blogging break the last few days. Just spending time with family, and so we haven't really been doing anything special. Well, it's been special to us...but not really worth writing a daily blog post about.

Of course there's going to be lots of daily blogging going on starting tomorrow when we fly to Spain!

We lucked into a fantastic deal on AirBnb for accommodation. We'll tell you all about it when we arrive there!

Happy New Year...we hope you enjoy your evening ringing in the new year!

We loved Barcelona, four days is perfect. We did the hop on hop off bus from the city center and it was a great way to see the sights and get the lay of the land. Go early to Park Güell it was one of our favorite places. Peter wrote about it in his blog. Happy New Year to you both.
